The characters in this book blew me away. I loved Auggie, and I loved the various perspectives given in this book. Ever since I put it down, I find myself referencing it to my friends and family.

This book blew me away! Elephants have been my favorite animal for as long as I can remember. I was fascinated by the setting of the story, and the many conflicts in which our hero-narrator had to endure. Everyone should read this!
